YouTuber and Twitch star Etika is reportedly missing after uploading a video which has fans concerned for his safety.

The 29-year-old – real name Desmond Amofah – uploaded a video telling fans he’s ‘sorry’, before it was taken down from the site.

‘I’m sorry, yo. I’m sorry I betrayed your trust, I’m sorry I pushed you all away,’ he said the video.

Saying that he’s ‘breaking his own rules,’ he explained that he was feeling suicidal.

‘I mislead so many of you, I manipulated, I lied, I shifted blame… I don’t know what awaits me on the other side, but I’m ready to face it,’ he wrote in the description.

Etika added: ‘As far as we know, there is no life after death. My time ends now, but if there is a way for me too, I’ll send you all as many blessings as I can from the other side.’

This isn’t the first time Etika has alluded to suicide, previously posting some similarly worrying tweets back in April, in which he described himself as ‘mentally troubled’.

However, fans are urging others to take the star’s video seriously, with fellow YouTuber Sky Williams tweeting: ‘Please start taking @etika’s mental health seriously. like sure he’s flip flopped a bunch of times and i know it’s taxing – but suicide attempts/threats should never be blown off.’

One fan shared some fanart he’d created for the YouTuber, adding: ‘Idk where you are right now, but stay strong bro. I was hoping to show you some fanart in person but now’s a better time than ever I guess.
